Original Article Scottsdale college's security cameras working again Dec. 11, 2005 12:00 AM Scottsdale Community College's security cameras are up and running again after almost four months, but not soon enough for one student whose car was stolen from a campus parking lot. "I couldn't believe it, especially since (surveillance warnings are) posted all over the place," Michael Fischer, a business marketing student, said of there being no record of the midday theft. "It gives you a false sense of security." In late August, lightning disabled the camera system that monitors parking lots and some interior walkways, leaving the campus unmonitored. Scottsdale Community College has averaged about one car theft per year for the past several years and Fischer's, taken in late September, was the first this academic year. Fischer said he said he deliberately parked his 1992 limited-edition Ford Mustang so it would be in view of a camera. - Elias C.
